group of 'elites'

Not to be paranoid, but--

The UN is a collection point for these elites. Space development will be done once the elites have a means of controlling the development. It's possible they could extend control throughout the solar system, and remotely possible they could extend some kind of control even to a few nearby stars if we ever get the horsepower to travel between stars.

But they won't be able to extend control throughout the galaxy and they won't be able to totally control nearby star systems like they control earth, and maybe not even settlements within the Solar System. Look: the UN is doing a miserable job of controlling earth, how can they or their constituent elites hope to control even something so simple as a Mars colony if the Mars colony becomes self-sufficient?

How many NASA engineers does it take to replace a light bulb?

Unknown since there are no engineers left at NASA, only bureacrats.

Great, 10 billion dollars for another NASA experiment.
